POV, but the odds are that if an admin has had even a glance at it, it's
probably good.
I find this attempt to give admins even more power objectionable. There
are plenty of us who have been around for a long time without having
become admins. Many operate in limited non-controversial areas. The
result would be a huge number of articles that will need to be edited by
admins; these articles previously managed quite well without involvement
of admins.

If a POV warrior wants to they can turn anything into a controversy, but I
do agree in part.
Stable versions won't scale if they rely purely on admins. Perhaps we can
give the privilege to more people and find a way to undo stable versions
approved by a user that later turns out to be blocked or otherwise
sanctioned for problems so they can be re-checked by someone else.
